I agree. The minor hiccups will be fixed by the Florida game.

And Florida will only have 2 games to implement a new offense against a live opponent instead of 3.

Both should be equally concerned.

Bama's pass D, and LSU's run D were both terrible.


So teams cannot improve drastically by SEC play?

Bama looked suspect against Virginia Tech and see how that turned out add the year progressed...

Lsu by far. Alabama looked pretty good on o, just need to get a bit more efficient in the red zone, with 2 games to tune up. Of the concerning positions, only cb seems to be real concern, but we are without our best option at that position (jackson). I expect by the meat of the sec schedule the starters at cb will be different. There was some confusing between the lbs and the safeties caused by depriests absence, opened up some holes in the zone. The dline was in 3 man for a large part of the game, couldnt get much pressure against 5 (shockingly). Did much better when we switched to 4 man front. Sims was 100x better than everyone was predicting, accounted for over 300yds, accurate in the short and intermediate game, didnt take many shots downfield. Playcalling was quite good I thought, oline was great aside from some drive killing penalties. All in all I think we are in great shape

My last prediction before the game was 31-21.

We won 33-23.

There is no delusion. I take away emotion and look at things through a factual light and consider all of the factors.

The only thing Bama has to be concerned about is CB, and I imagine that'll be addressed. People are too result oriented. They don't actually pay attention to what happened.

As far as who should be more concerned, I'm not sure.

Both should be very concerned.

Without going into an in depth analysis, Bama really got helped by some dropped passes and questionable penalties, and LSU did not get rolling until 2 Wisconsin defenders went down

LSU - inconsistent QB play, poor OL play, poor DL play. We have a lot of things to work on.

Neither. Both will still be undefeated when they play each other.


Not if we don't find some CB play. If we don't, aTm will light us up.

LSU our run D is garbage



Not saying it does not need work but let's remember that we play Wisconsin last night. We came from behind and beat the #14 team in the country. I think that says a lot. It was the first game of the year

Both teams should have worries.

Bama looks like any team with a forward passing game will light them up and our offense is back in the stone age for the moment. Our run D improved drastically in the 2nd half but I do wonder how much having so many DTs out for the game affected the run defense. We only played 3 DTs all night.

Bama IMHO if they keep playing soft defense. LSU's defense is young but talented and grew up a lot by the end of the game vs Whisky. Their CB's played man-to-man, loaded the box and finally shutdown a potent Badger running game.

Not to troll, but WVU is maybe the worst defense in the last three years. Why they still run a 3-3-5 is beyond me. I swear Sims had 10 seconds to throw
